Ann Gilmour Poet Free verse

I Am Smitten

I am mesmerised  *
                                 *                      
                                         *
I have stars in my eyes *
                  *      *   *
* 
I spy Jupiter and her moons 
*
  *  
I am completely * enamoured
I am smitten *
                                          *
                                               *
to behold Saturn  * and her rings
joyous * sparkly * tingles * she  brings
  * 
      *     
              *     
                             *    
                                       *                               
   Tears of pure joy     
when she came into view
at that magical moment
sheer contentment I knew
my heart skipped a beat
my soul felt complete…
